A total of 124 patients were included in this study. We used U-net neural network architecture to segment the arterial vessel wall on original acquired MR vessel wall images and the corresponding images reconstructed from undersampled K-space data. The Dice coefficients based on the original K-space data, the K-space data with a sampling rate of 7.7%, and K-space data with a sampling rate of 1.9% were 88.66%, 88.19%, and 87.66%, respectively. The effectiveness of arterial vessel wall segmentation on undersampled images using U-net network was verified. The result demonstrated the potential to improve the acceleration performance of MR imaging.
